What You’ll Be Doing
  • Build and deploy AI-powered applications, internal tools and operational solutions.
  • Develop AI agents, assistants and LLM-enabled workflows using platforms such as OpenAI, Anthropic Claude or similar.
  • Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions using company and business data.
  • Integrate AI solutions with SQL databases, REST APIs, Microsoft 365, CRM and contact-centre platforms
    .
  • Implement tool/function calling and AI-driven workflow automation.
  • Develop dashboards and business-facing applications incorporating AI capabilities.
  • Apply prompt engineering techniques and continuously evaluate and improve AI output quality.
  • Consider data security, privacy and governance when connecting AI solutions to internal systems.
  • Work closely with business and technical stakeholders to identify opportunities where AI can solve real operational problems.
  • Build, test, deploy and support production-ready solutions.
What We’re Looking For
  • Strong software development background using Python and/or Type Script .
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience working with LLM APIs such as OpenAI, Anthropic Claude or similar.
  • Proven experience shipping working AI-enabled products or features
    .
  • Practical experience with:
    • AI Agents & Assistants
    • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
    • Tool / Function Calling
    • Prompt Engineering
    • LLM evaluation and output optimisation
    • API and system integrations
  • Experience integrating applications with SQL databases, REST APIs and enterprise/business platforms
    .
  • Strong understanding of software development principles and building production-ready applications.
  • Ability to work pragmatically and independently, with a focus on delivering solutions that create measurable business value.
Advantageous
  • Telecoms experience.
  • Contact-centre / customer-service technology experience.
  • Experience working with Microsoft 365, CRM or call-centre platforms.
  • Experience building workflow automation and internal business tools.
The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for builders rather than researchers — engineers who have actually taken AI concepts from idea through to a working solution.

If you are a strong software developer who understands how to leverage LLMs, agents, RAG and integrations to solve real business problems, this is an opportunity to work on a growing portfolio of practical AI use cases.
